Product Description
by Larry La (Author), Joie Chen (Foreword by)
In Square Moon, Larry Trung La recounts his extraordinary journey from the war-torn streets of South Vietnam to the vibrant culinary scene of Washington, D.C. As one of the "boat people," Larry and his family escaped the devastation of the Vietnam War, enduring a perilous journey across the South China Sea in search of a new life.
Arriving in America with little more than hope, Larry's determination and relentless work ethic propelled him from humble beginnings in a Malaysian refugee camp and small-town Tennessee to becoming the driving force behind D.C.'s beloved Mei-Wah restaurant. His memoir is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the immigrant experience, and the power of community in the pursuit of the American Dream.
